Writings have been turning up around the place that to my mind have a strange elfish quality to it all. Normally, we are not in the habit of publishing a whole lot of the confounded stuff since there’s not really a whole lot of demand for elf poetry but this elf has been so vexing and persistent, thus forcing my hand. There, published. I hope now that the torrent of submissions will subside for awhile.

For anyone with a taste for the writings of Elves, my hat is off to you. Elf is not easy. That’s why it has not been my most favorite thing on earth. Nevertheless, I have committed myself to the task of reading a bit more of the confounded stuff over the next year or so. Here is an example of a piece of Dark Elf poetry in elf-nglish that I think has some merit.

The story was that of a young dark elf, Kre’tan, who did once fall deeply in love with a mortal by the name of Barb. This of course was unlucky not so much in that it deviated a bit from elf custom– it surely did not. Stories of steamy love affairs between elves and humans have been written about for ages. Yet in this instance, the problem which would not work its way out was that Barb did not like Kre’tan at all. She only wanted him to go away and to stop trampling up her rhododendrons. However, the undeterred reject would not give up his longing for the beautiful Barb for a long while. He wrote and sang and performed badly night after night from the street or from her garden. Then finally, Kre’tan stopped showing up at Barb’s home one evening and that was the end of that.
We have hundreds of manuscripts that Kre’tan left thrown about in Barb’s front yard. Here is an example of some of the stuff he would churn out. This is called in elf language, J’nesst, or Woman, in the common tongue.
